Stacking The Shelves is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. This means you can include books you buy in physical store or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks!

I feel like it has been forever since I have posted an STS post, but I haven't been getting very many books now that I am in college. However, I got legitimately the surprise of a lifetime this week. College has been an adjustment, and it's not the easiest thing to transition into. Gillian at Writer of Wrongs is my go-to for anything and everything. She's stayed up with me until 4:30 am and has shared in all my ups and downs thus far. And, when I hit a particularly rocky patch, she made my day ten times better. And, in all honesty, I can't live without this girl.

She gifted me the surprise of a bookish lifetime...

The Harry Potter boxed set with all the new covers. Look at that! I've never owned my own HP series, and now I do. Not only that, the spines create Hogwarts! And the books are so soft! I can't even help myself. This is seriously the best birthday gift/Christmas gift/pick-me-up I could have ever asked for.

That's a great gift, it looks really pretty with all the books together like that. I love seeing the different covers for HP from around the world. And I know what you mean about college being an adjustment - my freshman year sucked, but it picked up a lot the following year, and now I'm a senior and getting nervous about going out into the 'real world'. ;)

Wow! That is a fantastic friend!! I love and also I'm so in awe of our community and how, though we have our ups and downs, we support each other, and we are there for each other, oftentimes just as much as an IRL friend or family member. It's so awesome!

That's so awesome. I don't own a HP set either. I think I have one hardcover sans the cover that I picked up at a library sale. I hope you start adjusting to college soon. Kristin @ Book Sniffers Anonymous

Oh, Lili, you are so FREAKING lucky!!!!! I would absolutely dance around the living room if I got a gift like that!!! I LOVE Harry Potter!!!! I had no idea there were new covers now! I'm off to investigate further, so I can put this set on my Christmas wish list! (I have to be EXTRA nice to hubby....lol.)

Of course! Seeing the different covers is something that always intrigues me. My freshman year has sucked thus far, no questions asked. It's making me wonder if my school is the place for me. It's adding unnecessary stress and drama to my life.

That Harry Potter is seriously cool! I have all the books in hard cover, but that does tempt me to pick up the new editions. The covers are beutiful and I had no idea that would all make Hogwart's shelved together. That is really an awesome gift!
